SKYPE - Policy Based Routing.

Hi

I have 3 Internet Links

One of the link is a Satellite link and is never been used

I wish to redirect "only SKYPE" traffic on the Satellite Link

Users are connected on interface g0/1

Satellite internet is connected on g0/0

I am using a Cisco 2921

And Running NBAR

Regards

Hi the issue with redirecting Skype is it uses 80/443 ports so if you redirect it you may redirect web traffic , it also uses manual ports not sure if there is a way to change them completely though

The redirection bit on Cisco side will work using a matched extended access-list with port numbers and a set net-hop statement but the problem will be the port numbers that Skype uses if they cant be changed

To work correctly, Skype requires unrestricted outgoing TCP access to:

  • All destination ports above 1024 (recommended)

    or

  • Ports 80 and 443 

If your firewall restricts access to both of these, you will need to update your firewall settings before you can use Skype.
